And she reveals hijabi women love to stay ‘on peak’ - Muslim slang for keeping a trendy high point at the front of the scarf to look fashionable.

She also says fear of Islam following negative media coverage and the lack of understand about the hijab means she’s rarely approached by other mothers at children’s events.

So now she’s challenging British mums to try tying a scarf or shawl and spending 15 minutes in public to see if they are treated any differently.

She adds: “See what it feels like to be stared at, pointed at, whispered about or even abused.

“It really shouldn’t be this way and none of us want our children growing up in such an intolerant world.

“This isn’t about pretending to be a Muslim - it’s simply to show what women like me have to go through.”

Nilufa, who works as a Muslim lifestyle vlogger for ChannelMum.com, says: “The irony is everyone is happy to talk if I have a hat or even a towel on my head, so why not a hijab? I’m the same person underneath.

“My aim is for people to realise it’s just a bit of cloth. Some people wear hijab, accept it and move on. See past the scarf and see the person.”

A number of ChannelMum users have taken up the challenge and relished the chance to experience the hijab first-hand.

Jess Ashe: “I absolutely loved this challenge and didn’t get any negativity all.”

Holly Matthews added: “I asked my Muslim neighbours before doing the challenge and she loved the idea and said go for it - we won’t be offended at all.

“This is about breaking down barriers and removing fear of the unknown.”

Lucy Carter: “Aren’t hijabs beautiful? I have always thought they look stunning and so elegant on. I absolutely loved wearing it and am so up for spreading the word on this challenge. It’s fantastic to work with the Muslim community and have their blessing and backing.”

The challenge comes as a new survey reveals two thirds of all mums want more Muslim families in adverts to properly reflect UK society, while over half think this would improve race relations and cultural understanding.

The research also revealed eight in 10 mums are happy to buy a product advertised by a woman in a hijab while 59 per cent of non-Muslim mums also regularly buy halal products.

In America, the #We’veGotItCovered campaign is also attempting to dispel myths around the hijab with tens of thousands of viewers and comments.
